DSSI: What was it like?

        DEC's proprietary DSSI interface: Can anyone give me some idea of why DEC
came up with it, what benefits it offered over, say, SCSI, and whether it
was entirely proprietary or related to something like IPI?

        For that matter, what the heck did DSSI abbreviate? My guess: Distributed
Storage Subsystem Interface.

        Web sites, FAQs, or commentary are all welcome as this is pure curiousity
on my part. Thanks much.
